1. The Evolution of the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 

The Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 represents a significant milestone in high-fidelity audio evolution. As the most compact floorstanding model in the second-generation Sonetto line, it is designed to deliver a full-range sonic experience without dominating your living space.
This 2024 model is not just a visual refresh; it is a complete acoustic overhaul. By integrating “trickle-down” technology from the world-renowned Suprema project, the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 offers a level of transparency and emotional resonance previously reserved for ultra-high-end reference systems.

2. Artisan Italian Design and Cabinetry 

Visual beauty is core to the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2. Every cabinet is handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy,
following centuries of woodworking tradition. The iconic lute shape is functional art; its curved walls effectively eliminate internal standing waves to ensure a purer sound.
  • Premium Finishes: Available in high-quality Walnut, Wenge, and Graphite wood veneers.
  • Concrete Base: A new structural innovation that lowers the center of gravity and virtually eliminates floor-borne vibrations.
  • Leather Details: The front baffle is elegantly wrapped in hand-stitched Italian leather.

 

3. Revolutionary Internal Cork Chamber Technology 

The most revolutionary feature of the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 is the Internal Cork Chamber. Borrowed directly from the flagship Suprema, this organic material is used to shape the internal volume of the midrange and tweeter sections.
Unlike synthetic damping materials, the natural structure of cork provides superior resonance control. In the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2, this results in a midrange that is incredibly natural, fast, and free from “boxiness,” allowing vocals to float effortlessly in your room.

4. High-Performance Driver Configuration 

To achieve its powerful yet refined sound, the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 utilizes a sophisticated 2.5-way driver array.

The DAD™ Tweeter

The 1.1″ Damped Apex Dome (DAD™) tweeter provides an extended high-frequency response up to 40kHz. This design ensures that the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 captures the finest details of high-resolution recordings with silky smoothness.

The Camelia Mid-Woofer

Unique to the G2 series, the 6.5-inch mid-woofer features a diaphragm shaped like a Camelia flower. This non-circular geometry prevents typical resonances, ensuring that the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 delivers a clean and rhythmic performance across the critical frequency range.

Dual Aluminum Woofers

Deep, impactful bass is provided by high-excursion aluminum woofers, allowing the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 to reproduce the scale of a live orchestra or a modern cinema soundtrack with ease.

5. The Iconic Voice of Sonus Faber 

Audiophiles prize the “Voice of Sonus Faber” for its lifelike vocal reproduction. The Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 achieves this through a Phase Coherent Crossover. This technology aligns the timing of all drivers, creating a holographic 3D soundstage where every instrument has its own defined space.
